Some of the puzzles were not clear at all. It was a decent game, but I'd say about 6 out of 10

Solid game! Nothing too difficult, with the hardest part being that it was sometimes unclear when certain combinations would actually work on the electronic locks because I got false negatives. Would idea with solid enough execution. A little more sensory feedback would help players understand when you unlock progression, but overall fun experience and perfect for 1 person!

Irvine Spectrum is a big shopping center so there’s tons of parking but expect a bit of a walk

This room was fun and one of the more difficult rooms 8/10. It was interesting to feel like you were in a tiny art museum. I would recommend a group of 4-5 people for this room since it was a smaller room. Our GM was cool and we always love doing escape rooms at this company. The GM couldn’t tell me if the room was linear when I asked but it was.

Wonderfully laid out room. The puzzles were challenging yet satisfying.

Really pretty room design as well as puzzle flow that made a lot of sense. Didn't realize The Escape Game is a public game, and I honestly think it takes away from the experience. This time I got cool people so wasn't too bad but, I can see it being a bad experience if you get paired with the wrong people.
Puzzles were logical, and made sense in the room.
Pretty immersive, again feel like making it a public game takes it away, really only do these rooms if you have 8 people.
Game masters were awesome and enthusisastic!

My girlfriend and I failed this room with quite a few puzzles left to solve. The Heist is definitely this locations hardest room to escape. The combination of things to keep track of and clever technological puzzles made this room extremely difficult.
Difficult semi-linear gameplay
Atmosphere was great, the room made you feel like you were somewhere far away.
GM Adrian was great.
Great story

Of all the games here, I think this one was the weakest. Definitely needs some TLC, some wear and tear on game pieces. Definitely on the more difficult side. Still got that TEG magic though!

Fun and well designed. Lots of different games to play in parallel with a large group

Every room at The Escape Game is top of the line. That being said, if you were going to skip one, this would be it. Good atmosphere but the opening room was the best part. I didn’t feel like the plot escalated quite as well as the other rooms, and I didn’t feel as excited when a new doorway would open up. Again, you can’t go wrong with The Escape Game. If this was a room somewhere else, it could easily be the best one, but with five other amazing options at this location, this is easily the least memorable and I would only recommend it if you plan on doing all of them.

The Heist was a cool escape! Tori was great and gave recommendations of other escape rooms. The curation was beautiful. We escaped with 24 minutes left on the clock! Definitely coming back to do them all.
The staff was very good!
